Steps to Take When Your Microwave Sparks
If your microwave starts sparking, immediately turn it off and unplug it. Do not continue to use the microwave until you have identified and resolved the issue. Check for any metal objects inside, inspect the interior for damage, and ensure that the food and containers are microwave-safe. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to consult a professional technician.
When to Consult a Professional Technician
If you have inspected your microwave and cannot identify the cause of the sparking, or if the sparking continues despite your efforts, it may be time to consult a professional technician. A technician can diagnose and repair issues such as a faulty magnetron or damaged waveguide cover, ensuring your microwave is safe to use.
